Ok so today at work i got my dad to ring the man thats working on the car to try find the problem , as i would have no business head to talk to him ....... the problem occurred after a track day at laois a while back , the car ran ok all day ,the next day we took car off trailer and lower it on different springs and shocks was happy with the work we had done until i went to start it . The car wouldnt run , it was turnin and turning and gettin petrol but not firing and starting , at first we had thaught it could have been ignition or emobilisor as when we plugged in the car it came up security or some shite :P so found out a while back that there was a wire broke sumwhere along the lines that was fine he said he would trace it and fix it when he can we rang him today and found that someone or something had cut the wire doing to the brain i dont know if he ment a diliberate cut or just a brake but the way i picked it up was that it was a cut ..... So hoping to have the car back the weekend ... Fingures crossed

shes sitting low and miserable atm haha


on the trailer




awh kind of lost with this yoke now just dont know what to do .... ehm after getting sick of waiting on a mechanic who specializes in car electronics to figure out what was rong , i decided to get on to another local enough polish fella who is seriously handy with chip tuning etc to come out and take a peep ... origonally the car wouldnt start she was turning and turning but not firing ... i got diagnostics done etc etc came up security problems ... the polish fella looked at brain and seen that their was small corrosion on the plugs ..! so i cleaned them and decide a new brain was the key
happy days ....

NO !

to get a new brain you must get a new key ... barrel transmitter box for key signals and then brain ... drove to toomebridge above belfast got them home put them in and .... no go !

we now have no idea why .... can anyone shine some light ???

the fellas thinking maybee i should wire the wires straight into the brain bypassing the plug to make shure its not corrosion ....

i now have another problem ! before the car was turning and turning but not starting ! now it wont even turn ! i have to have both barrels connected and wire to get her to turn ...! and when i plug the diagnostics up she cant make a link to the ecu to tell us the problem !

i just feel so lost dunno what to do ! any ideas ????

how much ? lol

[tomsheen]

throw the engine into a cheap e36 shell and get someone tasty to wire the basics up.
you could prob bypass a load of shite on them and still have it running perfect

Theres a lad in cavan town that is a genuis with electronics and and all that stuff on european cars. Pm me if you want his number, plus i dont think you needed a new key you just needed to reprogram it.

Get an E30 and convert the engine/gearbox and stuff on it and i promise you, you going to be happiest BMW owner here

Crappy E30-s go for nothing in these days ...
